What do you want readers to take away?
After reading my novel, I am hoping it will encourage families to talk about lineage. The secrets of the outside affairs that leave siblings separated. This has become a part of our way of life. However for the child, who either is deliberately kept away or has no connection to their father or other family members this becomes a burden to bear after a parents death. We now have more people looking for their lost family members because of the "Family Secrets, Lies & Alibi's".

Do you prefer outlines to write?
Once I begin working on a writing I commit myself to writing two chapters a night. I start with an outline of the entire story. The characters develop as I write but the basis of the story and the outcome has already been determined.

What will keep readers turning the pages?
My novel is real. It relates to people we know, if not ourselves. One can substitute the names of my fictitious characters with those they have personal encounters with. A believable story makes the best journey for reading.
